Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 358 So many children, such a dog of a fish
Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei let Luo Ping and the others take away many things, such as waterproof matches, welding guns, compressed fuel blocks, pistols, and bullets.

With Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei's abilities, they no longer needed pistols and bullets. The two had considered keeping some bullets to use as concealed weapons, but after thinking about it, they realized that concealed weapons could be used for anything, so why did they have to use bullets?

These bullets, along with the guns, can only be given to Luo Ping and his team to maximize their value.

There was also wine. Lu Xi'an gave Luo Ping and the others eight bottles, and kept two bottles for himself, planning to have a few drinks with Yao Wei in his spare time later.

I wonder if Yao Wei can get used to it? If she can't, then I'll have to drink it myself.

However, upon closer inspection, Lu Xi'an realized that these wines were not the baijiu popular in his previous life, but rather rice wine and grape wine, and he wasn't sure if he could get used to them.

Previously, what I found in Beifang County, Jiangnan City, were all medicinal wines and rice wines.

In this world, rice wine seems to be more popular, followed by medicinal wine and wine. As for baijiu and beer, he has never seen them.

The two worlds are indeed different.

As for cigarettes, Lu Xi'an originally wanted Luo Ping and the others to take some with them, but they refused, saying that their elder brother and sister weren't leaving anytime soon and that they would come back often to trade with people on East Island.

It would be a waste to use up all these cigarettes, so I'd better keep them and exchange them for supplies on the East Island later.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei both agreed that smoking was indeed not a good habit and did not benefit them. They were not addicted, so why waste cigarettes?

So all those cigarettes were left here, waiting for Luo Ping to retrieve them each time he came to the island.

Then there are vegetable seeds and pressurized plant nutrient solution, which are definitely for the older trees.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei kept two packs of alcohol wipes, a roll of hemostatic bandage, a pack of medical gauze, and a tube of anti-infection ointment from the medical kit, just in case. They let Luo Ping and the others take the rest.

The tea and coffee were also given away. As for the soda, Lu Xi'an gave two bottles to Chai Xin, and selfishly kept the remaining three bottles.

Then there was the toolbox. Lu Xi'an gave the ones he had used before to Luo Ping and the others, but kept the set he had found on the ship.

They didn't need the industrial lubricant either. After checking the RV and seeing its condition, they realized it wasn't necessary and gave it to Luo Ping and the others.

One pack of compressed biscuits was left for the rest of the group, while a large amount of cash was handed over to Luo Ping and his group to use as they saw fit.

In this way, all the things that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei had bought from the large ship on Dongdao Island were handed over and disposed of, and the car was no longer so crowded.

After watching Luo Ping and the others descend the mountain and disappear into the distance, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei honked their horns, and the cars in the distance responded with their horns until they disappeared from sight.

"Would you like some?"

Lu Xian asked Yao Wei.

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "The tide has receded, so we need to be careful. Let's wait until the tide comes in again."

Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "What are you thinking? I was talking about soda."

Yao Wei raised her arm to look at it and said, "But I'm not fat." She was indeed not fat, and was very thin; her wrist was so small that it could be easily grasped with one hand.

—Of course, this person can only be Lu Xi'an. Anyone else would probably be thrown out and freefall, their lives in danger.

Lu Xi'an had no choice but to explain again: "I was talking about that drink called Happy Energy. Didn't we drink one bottle before, and then give two of the remaining five bottles to Chai Xin?"
"This tastes great and replenishes sugar and energy, but it's easy to gain weight from drinking it, so it's called the 'Fat House Happy Water'."

Yao Wei frowned, and upon hearing this, she seemed less inclined to drink.

She was probably thinking about Xu Ma's image and didn't want to get fat like that.

Lu Xi'an explained, "Don't worry, we only have these three bottles left, it's fine. Besides, we exercise every day and burn so much energy, this little bit is nothing."
"You'll only gain weight if you drink it and don't move."

"Is it?"

Yao Wei asked.

Lu Xi'an laughed: "It's not like you haven't tried it before."

Yao Wei thought about it for a moment and then felt relieved. And remembering the taste of that energy drink, which was indeed quite delicious, she couldn't help but swallow.

So the two of them sat on the western cliff edge, each holding a bottle of soda, facing away from the sun, looking into the distance, and sipping their drinks.

They didn't speak, just sat quietly, drinking their beverages, yet they felt that time was so beautiful, peaceful and touching. If only it could stay like this forever.

But no, they were destined to set off. Yao Wei had places she had to go and things she had to do in her life, and Lu Xi'an was certain that he was destined to accompany Yao Wei.

“Once everything is settled, we’ll come back here, settle down, live a quiet life, and have a child. That doesn’t seem like a bad idea.”

Just as the bottle of soda was almost empty, Lu Xi'an suddenly spoke.

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Mm."

Lu Xi'an turned to look at Yao Wei and asked, "What about having two?"

Yao Wei: “Yeah.”

Lu Xi'an: "Three?" Yao Wei: "Yes."

Lu Xi'an: "Four?"

Yao Wei: “…”

Lu Xi'an: "Five?"

Yao Wei: “…”

She had already turned her head to glare at Lu Xi'an.

Lu Xi'an seemed completely oblivious: "How about a football team?"

Yao Wei said, "As long as you can afford to raise them."

Lu Xian: "..."

After finishing his drink, Lu Xi'an didn't throw away the bottle. He thought that if he gave the bottle to Yuan Laotie, the blacksmith on Dongdao Island, he might be able to sell it for some money.

The bottle we drank last time is still lying on the boat on Dongdao Island. Next time Luo Ping and the others come, we can just let them know and let them board the boat themselves.

……

Days continued to pass, and Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei continued to live their lives on the small hill in an orderly manner. They were always very safe, and the resonance gene scanner never showed any extra red dots. They also did not notice anything unusual.

Even so, they would remain vigilant and, during the high tide, would not use the training methods left by Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin, would not use their small umbrellas, would not drink alcohol, and would not do anything reckless.

I maintain a fixed daily routine: getting up early to exercise, eating, drinking, and taking care of the cornfield and two chickens, collecting eggs, and occasionally going down the mountain to search for treasure.

When the tide came in again, Luo Ping and the others arrived once more. So Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei also personally experienced the wonderful feeling of riding a fish out to sea.

However, they weren't going to Dongdao Island, but rather to the Fish Mouth area. After being carried by the big fish to the top of the Fish Mouth area, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei immediately dived into the sea, carrying the dog as a locator and light, and continued downwards.

Liu Hua left two fish with Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, while she went to Dongdao with Luo Ping and the others.

Liu Hua's progress is getting better and better every day. She has already achieved such exquisite control. Lu Xi'an suspects that Liu Hua is the most skilled person in the 923 base.

However, this woman was always humble, and no matter how capable she was, she always listened to Luo Ping and never acted recklessly.

The light emanating from the dog's eyes served not only as illumination but also as a guide. Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei followed the light in the dog's eyes as they descended, with a large fish following behind them.

Halfway there, a giant squid suddenly attacked with incredible speed, startling the two large fish, who hesitated. However, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei attacked together, punching the squid and knocking it out, no matter how big it was.

The two large fish were startled, but then they seemed to turn into Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei's lackeys, fawning over them.

They were clearly fish, with no expression, but for some reason, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei could sense their fawning.

As we continued our descent, we encountered some fish and shrimp. These two creatures would swim over and bully them, especially the larger ones. They would ignore the smaller ones, acting like swaggering dogs.

Lu Xi'an was speechless. How could there be such a nasty fish in the sea?!

Upon reaching the Fish Mouth area, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei landed smoothly, walked along the underwater path, and looked at the buildings protected by glass enclosures on both sides. Compared to looking at photos, it was a completely different feeling.

They seemed to be truly immersed in history. Those glass enclosures were barriers that separated them from time and space, making them linger here, but they could only hold their breath and walk past, leaving time and history behind.

Regardless, this unique journey was still inexplicably moving, and they will likely cherish the memories of this place even after they leave.

Therefore, even if they didn't find any supplies or discover any secrets after passing through this place, they still felt they had gained a lot and were very satisfied.

They lingered there, relying on the powerful bodies of the well-trained Type A new humans, staying in the deep sea for a long time before leaving and swimming back to the surface.

Luo Ping and his group have already gone to Dongdao Island, and they must have already landed on the island to do business. Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei naturally cannot see them.

There are two large fish left behind by Liu Hua, which can be used to send the two of them back.

Lu Xi'an guessed that Liu Hua must have mastered the use of the insects under the poplar trees in the northern county to be able to control the big fish from such a distance.

However, looking at the two fish-like lackeys now, Lu Xi'an felt that even without Liu Hua, he and Yao Wei could ride these two big fish back.

As Lu Xi'an predicted, after Luo Ping and the others returned to Institute 923, the two big fish continued to linger near the east bank of Caiyang Mountain. Whenever Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei needed them, they could immediately swim over to serve as mounts.

The tide ebbs and flows, and these two big fish come and go. Even after half a month, they will still find Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, eagerly begging to be ridden.

"With these two fish, shouldn't we be fine going out to sea?"

After another high tide, Lu Xi'an stood on the mountaintop watching the fish leaping in from the east and couldn't help but ask Yao Wei a question.

But Yao Wei glanced at the RV behind her and said, "Let's not go out to sea."
